LEPIDOPTEKA— NYMPHALIDAE— APATURA LEILIA. 771 



ries is either very slightly crenated, or is crenated next outer angle, and 

 serrated posteriorly ; primaries have a transverse discal row of seven white 

 spots arranged in a double curve, the first two and fifth nearly equal, the 

 third and fourth minute, the sixth and seventh, near inner margin, equal, 

 rather smaller than the fifth, and sometimes confluent ; midway between 

 this row and the margin is a second row of white spots and ocelli, the spots, 

 two in number, being placed on the upper subcostal and the discoidal inter- 

 spaces ; the three ocelli, on the lower subcostal and the median interspaces, 

 are black, rounded, the upper one small, with an indistinct pale iris, the 

 others large, nearly equal, and each surrounded by a pale-brown nimbus ; in 

 the cell, two transverse, equal, subreniform spots, one at the outer extremity, 

 the other near the middle ; these spots are obscure brown centrally, black 

 at the edges, and are separated by a space that is white, irrorated with brown 

 scales. 



Secondaries have the costal margin fuscous ; upon the extradiscal area 

 a series of six black ocelli arranged as in Chjton and Celtis, the second from 

 costa largest and back of the line, the sixth minute, the others nearly equal, 

 rather more than half the size of the second ; each surrounded by a shade 

 slightly paler than the ground, and several having within small eccentric 

 clusters of blue scales ; on the middle of costal margin a white patch, and 

 five small, white spots in line with this pass round the extremity of the cell ; 

 in the cell, two faint fuscous spots ; fringes white in the emarginations, fus- 

 cous at the ends of the nervules. 



Under side of primaries chestnut-red at base below the cell, also 

 within the cell next base, but partly covered with gray, especially along 

 the subcostal nervure ; remainder of wing pearl-gray, showing a brown 

 subcolor on disk, and in the middle of each interspace on the apical area, 

 and at inner angle ; the gray becoming suffused with pale-blue as it ap- 

 proaches the hind margin ; this margin narrowly edged with yellow-brown ; 

 the submarginal lines repeated, distinct, blackish-brown ; the white spots 

 repeated, enlarged, and in addition a white patch in the outer row on costa ; 

 the lower spot of this row, in discoidal interspace, nearly conceals a small 

 ocellus, a narrow edge of black being discernible on the anterior side, and 

 the yellow iris being nearly complete ; the other three ocelli re-appear,
